How hot does YOUR computer get?

[wwjdftw]

Well I'm going to start off by saying you could heat a ware house with mine, I am so not joking either, it gets so damn hot that the lables on the botom of my laptop have turned brown-ish-black and have blistered up in places. So people of the escapist, are your computers heaters or useful devices?

My laptop rarely passes 45 degrees celsius on the proc. Under extreme load though it'll hit a good 65. The hard drive usually sits around 40 or so.

What kind of processor/hard drive do you have? That seems a bit warm to me.

EDIT:
Although, I do have integrated graphics, so that cuts back on heat ALOT.
Also edited my temp a bit to be more realistic.

All I know is that my computer's fan has to crank up a bit when ever I run much of anything complicated.

Its just a "stock" DELL-INSPIRON 1150, I honestly cant talk hardware at all, but it says it has an "INTEL-CELERON", but the basterd was made in 2004 does that say much?

my laptop gets rather warm that square thing you use as a mouse burns me
(not literally but its still hot)

*Shudders*, Celeron. For an 04 Celeron that's not too uncommon.

EDIT:
I'm guessing it looks a little like this? [http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/dell-inspiron-1150/4505-3121_7-30825072.html]

When it was working, my PC never budged over 25 Celsius. The case has 7 fans on it's own, the CPU, video card, 2 PCI slots and all hard drives have fans on them too. Turn all the fans off apart from the required ones, it went to about 40.

My friend's laptop had its battery explode, so his gets--I'm sorry, got really hot once.

Mine gets unpleasantly warm, but it's a laptop and really good at throwing that heat away, much to the chagrin of those to my left.

Yep, Celerons usually tend to be a bit lower on the performance scale, but they're damned near indestructible... Some of the things I've done to older Celerons will be abhorred by future cultures... But ya, I wouldn't be too worried about heat, but where possible try and bring it down a bit. Like a cooler pad [http://factorydirect.ca/catalog/product_spec.php?pcode=TA0401] (if you'll excuse the semi-advertisement, I own one of these and it works well).

Mine has 7 fans, so even though it normally would, it doesn't.

My CPU hits 48C under load, GPU hits 84C, and I think my motherboard hits 44C. Not sure where the temp sensor is on my motherboard, though I would assume the northbridge.

I'm not sure how hot my laptop gets, I've never bothered to find out. It gets hot enough that it'll throttle the CPU if under load for a while. That may be partly of my own doing - I crammed a 2.1GHz Pentium M in there, when it originally came with a 1.6GHz CPU. The heatsink the laptop uses is pitifully tiny.

my neighbors dad has a behemoth computer for his graphic designing and such, 4 processors and over 10 gigs so far. he needs to have a mini AC unit and fan system blowing on it just to keep the room cool, and he has another, less powered one but still super powered computer next to THAT.

its insane

 

[Agrosmurf]

My computer has SUPER FANS that sound like a fucken' jet engine when you put them on full blast but they keep my computer nice and cool in over 100 degrees F. heat.
=D

It's hard for me to look at the title of this thread without thinking of dirty double entendres.

 

[Major_Sam]

This computer doesn't get too hot cause I hardly use it but the main one used to get a little bit too hot until we got a new super duper fab fan!

 

[Blanks]

i dunno, it was on for about a week and i didn't notice a huge difference...my poor PC

 

[The_Prophet]

Usually around 40-44 degrees celsius.
Now it's the lowest ever recorded here: 38oC

 

[Gitsnik]

My system operates at a steady 74 degrees centigrade on the processor. So far no burnouts, but I'm afraid to power down the system lest being cold for a while makes it freak out.

36~43 C
